French-sounding guy
Bon soir mes amis
Welcome to the Cafe le Cabotin
Now we come down to this island in the sun
And it ain't been easy trying to get a day's work done
But tonight's the night we're gonna have ourselves some fun
We're gonna have some fun.
We're gonna go downtown to the Cafe le Cabotin
Where the baron is waitin' to welcome the rock and roll band
And if get a little crazy, the baron will understand
He'll understand.
Night and day, night and day
We will burn our boats and sail away
Ridin' high, ridin' high
We will leave our mark and say goodbye.
Now the place is jumping, the party has just arrived
Sing away the blues put the light back in your eyes
Yes on a night like this it's good to be alive
Just to feel alive.
Night and day, night and day
We will burn our boats and sail away
Ridin' high, ridin' high
We will leave our mark and say goodbye.
But the daylight comes, it's time to let it be
Yes the sun is up and shining on the sea
It was one more night and one more memory
Just a memory.
Night and day, night and day
We will burn our boats and sail away
Ridin' high, ridin' high
We will leave our mark and say goodbye.

Gerry Rafferty (1947-2011) è stato un cantautore e chitarrista scozzese, noto per il suo stile folk rock influenzato dal blues. Cresciuto a Paisley, in Scozia, Rafferty iniziò la sua carriera musicale negli anni '60 con i gruppi The Humblebums e Stealers Wheel. Con quest'ultimo ottenne un grande successo internazionale nel 1973 con il singolo "Stuck in the Middle with You", che divenne un classico del rock. Dopo lo scioglimento dei Stealers Wheel, Rafferty intraprese una carriera da solista di grande successo, pubblicando album come "City to City" (1978) e "Right Down the Line" (1980), entrambi caratterizzati da melodie orecchiabili e testi introspettivi. Il suo brano più famoso è probabilmente "Baker Street", un singolo del 1978 che raggiunse la vetta delle classifiche in molti paesi, grazie anche al celebre assolo di saxofono. Rafferty ha continuato a registrare musica fino alla fine degli anni '90, pur non raggiungendo più i successi commerciali dei suoi primi anni. È morto nel 2011 all'età di 63 anni.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
